Tattooed Rockstars

Hey, as well as having the requisite rockstar-sleeve, Asian Jesus of The Dirty Chinese Thieves seems to have the same supercheap bass as I do! Anyway, I have two great tattoo interviews ready to go for tomorrow (and I did some really minor cleanup on the look of BME/news since a fairly fast production cycle is happening right now) — I’ll post whichever people are more interested in coming first. The two choices are the opposite ends of the spectrum; the spectacularly talented Johnny Thief, or the “interview with a scratcher”.

Shes got a dime all of the time

Could you take a better picture of a fetish geisha tattoo? I love this shot from Docteur_Ar of his tattoo done by Steph D at Dimitri HK in Saint Germain en Laye (Paris, France). Anyway… now I have to decide what interview to edit next — I have quite a few in the queue ready to go, but right now I’m deciding between the very touching and interesting “Interview with a scratcher” (a nice counter-part to the superartists interviewed lately) and an interview with a heavy SM bugchaser.

Battle Wounds

When Joulie‘s tattoo was healing she got a terrible infection, causing her three black squares to lose a lot of ink — they were supposed to be solid black. I actually think this has given them a ton of character and quite like the way it looks (much to my tattoo artist’s chagrin I haven’t filled in the scar on my blackwork from where a hook tore out, but I like the memories).
